This is a cordless task light designed for jobsite lighting in tight, hard-to-reach work areas. Model Number: 578128-499814. If you do finish work, service calls, punch list work, cabinet installs, or any kind of detail-oriented job where shadows slow you down, this light makes a real difference fast.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe big story here is useful light output in a small package. You get up to 1,200 lumens, plus three brightness settings of 300, 600, and 1,200 lumens, so you can match the light to the task instead of blasting every surface at full power. The 5000 K light color is close to daylight, which helps when you are checking surface condition, matching finishes, or working where color accuracy matters more than raw brightness.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFestool built this light for flexibility, not just output. The lamp head swivels from 0 to 180 degrees, which lets you put light exactly where the work is instead of settling for whatever angle the base gives you. That is especially useful in narrow openings, on window work, inside built-ins, around shelves, or anywhere your body and your tools already take up most of the available space.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eOn the job, portability is what separates a useful task light from one that stays in the truck. The SYSLITE KAL C runs on Festool's 18V battery platform, so there is no extension cord to drag around and no outlet to hunt for. Festool also notes that all 18-volt battery packs except Ergo packs can be used, which is a practical plus if you already own other Festool cordless tools. Runtime varies by battery, and with a 4.0 Ah battery pack the light runs for up to two hours at the brightest setting.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe included SYSLITE Magnetic Mounting Head adds another layer of jobsite usefulness. Festool also notes that the light can be hung on a hook and fits tripods with a 1\/4 inch thread, so you have several ways to position it above the work, off to the side, or in a fixed location. That makes it easier to keep both hands free while still getting light where you need it.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis setup also makes sense from a storage and grab-and-go standpoint. Festool describes it as small enough to fit into the Systainer battery compartment or a toolbox, which is exactly the kind of detail that matters when you are carrying gear from room to room. A work light does not help much if it is bulky enough to get left behind. This one is built to live with the rest of your cordless kit.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWho should buy it? Anyone doing finish carpentry, remodeling, service work, electrical work, inspection, punch lists, or detailed interior work where controlled lighting matters. If you already run Festool 18V batteries and want a cordless work light that is compact, adjustable, and easy to mount, this is a smart fit. If you need an area flood light for lighting up a whole floor, look at a larger jobsite light instead. But for targeted task lighting, this one is the right kind of compact.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails id=\"product-benefits-1\" class=\"acc\"\u003e \u003csummary\u003e\u003ch2\u003eLight Up Tight Work Areas\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"acc-body\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"img\"\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.anglera.com\/assets\/74d6ed76-fe0d-4d23-a9db-1f8749ca9ef2\/50185747956006_7247e3fc6dd0.jpg\" alt=\"Festool SYSLITE KAL C Cordless 1200-Lumen Task Light with SYSLITE Magnetic Mounting Head lighting a window-side work area during interior finish work\" class=\"tnblock-img\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"copy\"\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is the kind of light that earns a permanent spot in your kit because it solves a common problem fast.
